Voices of Young Deaf Adults: Supporting Adolescent Social Capital Development
Am Ann Deaf. 2023;167(5):605-624. doi: 10.1353/aad.2023.0003.ABSTRACTFor most young people, social capital plays an important role in transitioning to postsecondary education and employment. For youth who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), social capital can mitigate negative effects of challenges they will likely encounter after high school. In phase 2 of a two-phase qualitative study in Australia, we investigated DHH young adults' perspectives on how DHH adolescents could best be supported to develop and use social capital to benefit their postschool transition. Nine university students whose primary communication mode w...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1645: Clinical Prediction Models for Prognosis of Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Comprehensive Review of Regression-Based and Machine Learning Models
Tsoulfas
Colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is a disease entity that warrants special attention due to its high frequency and potential curability. Identification of “high-risk” patients is increasingly popular for risk stratification and personalization of the management pathway. Traditional regression-based methods have been used to derive prediction models for these patients, and lately, focus has shifted to artificial intelligence-based models, with employment of variable supervised and unsupervised techniques. Multiple endpoints, like overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) ...

Preference for Competitive Employment in People with Mental Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Proportions
ConclusionMost people with MD want to work competitively. More efforts should be given to preventive approaches such as support for job retention.

Monetary valuation of one year in full capability and health based on demographics, health status, income and well-being
CONCLUSIONS: These tools provide a systematic approach to determining 'compensating income' for certain illnesses, disabilities and levels of pain. The capability approach shown to be broader than the QALY.PMID:38656228 | DOI:10.1080/14737167.2024.2347647 (Source: Expert Review of Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research)

Economic instability, income, and unemployment effects on mortality: using SUR panel data in Iran
This study aims to investigate the effects of socioeconomic factors on mortality in Iran. To this end, this research examines how economic instability, income, and unemployment affect mortality using a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) with panel data for 30 provinces in Iran from 2004 to 2019. The results indicate that unemployment and mortality have a countercyclical relationship among the working age-groups 20 –59 but a procyclical pattern among old-age (60+), except for rural mortality. This result is harmonious between employment and age-group mortality. This finding implies that unemployment increases mortality ...

Suicide and suicidality in Australian Defence Force veterans: A systematic scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Gaps were identified in relation to the relative contributions to risk from transition, the various psychosocial correlates (for example, relationships, finances, employment), pre-service factors and the extent to which these are causal or mediating in nature. A better understanding of health service utilisation would also aid in targeting preventive efforts. Future research in these areas is warranted.PMID:38650320 | DOI:10.1177/00048674241246443 (Source: The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry)

The Role of the Molecular Encapsulation Effect in Stabilizing Hydrogen-Bond-Rich Gel-State Lithium Metal Batteries
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2024 Apr 23:e202400032. doi: 10.1002/anie.202400032. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGel-state polymer electrolytes with superior mechanical properties, self-healing abilities and high Li+ transference numbers can be obtained by in situ polymerization of monomers with hydrogen-bonding moieties. However, it is overlooked that the active hydrogen atoms in hydrogen-bond donors experience displacement reactions with lithium metal in lithium metal batteries (LMBs), leading to corrosion of the lithium metal. Herein, it is discovered that the addition of hydrogen-bond acceptors to hydrogen-bond-rich gel-stat...

Factors that Promote and Protect Against Financial Toxicity after Orthopaedic Trauma: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: This qualitative study of orthopaedic trauma patients found work and emotional health-related factors to be primary drivers of financial toxicity after injury. Insurance and support from friends and family were the most frequently reported protective factors. Many participants described the pivotal role of the healthcare team in establishing recovery expectations and facilitating access to social welfare programs.PMID:38652885 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-01071 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Full Endoscopic anterior cervical discectomy versus anterior cervical discectomy with fusion. A systematic review
Conclusion A definitive conclusion cannot be drawn. Single-level AECD seems to have results equivalent to ACDF, presenting even some benefits. Technical limitations combined with required surgical skills and experience should be considered. We recommend cautious employment in anticipation of future updates.PMID:38650569 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.44424-23.2 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)
